Even when apart, there are people who watch over you. [Bonus 20-character short story]

Hello. This is RaM.

Out of all the many articles on note,
thank you so much for noticing this one and reading it😊

On this note account,
I weave together my own thoughts and lessons learned,
as well as tips that can be applied to daily life,
while living in a way that cherishes myself,
all in my own words.

Please, relax,
and take your time here♪

Recent events

There is someone from my previous workplace
who was very kind to me.

Amidst the demanding work,
they looked out for me at every turn,
and provided support.

Even after I quit, we still somehow
keep in touch and exchange messages.

I had gone to my previous workplace to say hello,
and I had told them I was starting work again.

On the morning of a day when I was feeling the fatigue of the tension of my new life,
and was heading to a new site,
I suddenly received a message from that person.

"Is the new job going okay?"
they asked, showing their concern for me.

On the day I received this message,
I was on my way to a site I was visiting for the first time,
so my heart was feeling a little on edge,
but after receiving the message, the string that had been pulled tight
felt like it suddenly loosened.

After I replied,
I felt a little bit of the tension leave my body,
and I was filled with gratitude.

I was able to shift my mindset,
and head to the site.

Isn't the timing just divine?

Thanks to the message I received,
I was somehow able to relax
and head to the site,
but the timing of receiving this message
was truly divine.

This person, not just with this message,

sent me a LINE message right around the time my surgery ended,
and they have contacted me
at times when I was struggling with work,

Do you have a GPS on me or something? lol

I think to myself,
because their timing catch rate is so high.

Over the past three years or so,
how much have I been helped
by this person's thoughtfulness...

In particular, I am not good at sending out an SOS.
(At work, I do try to send them out early.)

Is it okay to ask this?
What should I do about this?
When I'm thinking things like that,
if someone checks in on me,
it becomes easier to ask, doesn't it?

They are someone I relied on very much.

Having someone who cares about you is truly something to be grateful for.

A new life is, after all, filled with strong anxiety.

Especially since it's not just office work,
but work that involves many opportunities to go out.

For places I'm going to for the first time,
my heart beats even faster.

In such times, receiving a message
from someone I know
is very happy,
and it is encouraging.

And so, feeling reassured,
I am able to head off to work.

Before I knew it, I was feeling this sense of security every day.

When I look back on this feeling of relief,
the feeling of being reassured,
it didn't feel like it had been a long time,
but rather, I realized I have been feeling it often lately.

Where was I feeling it? It was here on this note.

Almost every day,
I have been receiving reassurance
from the creators in the town of note.

Creating, posting, and sharing.

For me, all of these
were things accompanied by anxiety,

but every time I post,
thanks to the likes and comments
I receive from creators and readers,
I am able to continue my note activities
with a sense of security.

I often express my personal theory
that a sense of security is important for living!
And indeed, note is,
a place where I can feel that security.

Thank you so much, as always. 😊✨

In closing

Even though things are unstable,
being able to head to work every day,
and being able to place myself in an environment
where I can learn every day,
I have come to realize that these are things to be very grateful for.

Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed with work,
and I find myself wanting to return to my life on note,
but (haha),

from here on out as well, I want to cherish each day,
and face what I can do
with sincerity.

Today's bonus

I am keenly feeling the importance of sleep quality.

Until now, when I was exhausted from work,
I would sometimes spend my days off napping
so much that I would waste the entire afternoon, but I haven't been doing that lately.

Or rather, I haven't been able to
sleep that long anymore...
Is it my age?

I can't afford to get sleepy while at work,
so I have to do something about my daily sleep 💦
